"The Nerds" is a series of sketches on American sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. The protagonists of the sketch are Lisa Loopner and Todd DiLaMuca, whose repartée with one another would be the focus of the sketch, and regular character Mrs. Loopner, Lisa's mother, in whose home the sketches were usually set. Virtually all the time Mrs. Loopner, a widow, would wear a bathrobe. She often referred to her "wifely duties" concerning her late husband, and telling Lisa Loopner to "...go warm up the Gremlin..." before they went out somewhere. Todd would often give Lisa noogies by getting her in a headlock and knocking her on the top of the head, and a regular element of the sketches would be Todd making fun of her flat chest. He'd look down her shirt to see whether there were "any new developments" and then make a disparaging comment such as "Better put some Band-Aids on those mosquito bites.", to which Lisa's weary reply was often "That's so funny I forgot to laugh." or "The last time I heard that I fell off my dinosaur". Todd's name was originally given as "Todd LaBounta", but was changed in later sketches after legal action was threatened by a real person with that name. As well, when the earlier LaBounta "Nerd" sketches were re-run on repeat SNL broadcasts, the audio was re-edited so that Todd's last name was not heard.
